Re: Shards of Siberys

nice stick figure character designs

what are you looking for exactly, NPCs, heroes?
alignment restrictions?

ah hell, there is a char I would like playing some time sooner or later - so I have a little bit prepared (some background to expand and general idea how to level on in 3.5 D&D), I think I just copy and paste from my notes, have a look...

The half-orc girl you see standing before you looks rather feral and menacing...
wielding a huge greataxe and with warpaint in her face.

background story outline:

Spoiler

Show

During an orc assault on a small village at the borders of the country some people were killed and some enslaved to become forced labor for the orc tribe.
Her mother was one of the taken. Roughly a year later a half-orc girl has been born (guess what happened here). She inherited the raging blood of orcs that makes her fly into blood lust for brief periods of time. Still quite young she managed to escape and made it to one of the bigger human settlements. She had to make her own living, thus became a thief. But there is something that has always been a part of her, a hatred for slavery and unnecessary rules. Still part time thief and part time mercenary (protecting caravans and villages, never the city guard) she stumbled upon a sulfur mine run by slavers and managed to free some of the slaves. One freed was an old priest who never thought to see the sun again. He blessed her with his dying breath and henceforth divine favor shines on her....

...and when the war paint comes off, she looks no worse than an ordinary human girl - if you like them strong, even better.

rules & mechanics, rather boring stuff but needed to create a character sheet, maybe some of it is useful to describe the character...

Spoiler

Show

half -orc, for example with 36 points buy (invisible castle)
The stats are not optimized (medium STR, good CHA) rather tried to create a well rounded character that is not entirely stupid or hideous. Still this character can hold its ground in a tough fight.

if that is not enough, add any number of holy liberator levels (more spells, smite, divine grace...), up to 2 fighter levels and any barbarian levels (favored class), always add +1 to STR every 4 levels.

FEATS & STUFF:
must have iron will for the prestige class and power attack+cleave for the messy work.
will wear only chain shirt (light armor) to keep the benefit of evasion.
boost items(as much as the money allows): +AC (ring of deflection, ring of shielding), +STR (belt/girdle) +DEX (gloves) +CON (amulet) +WIS (headband) +saves (vest) +CHA (cloak)

weapons: greataxe, composite longbow
nice feats to have later on would be leap attack(more power attack damage on a charge) and stuff like that

soo... that is the general idea, chaotic good of course. Usually quite nice except when on warpath (hence the warpaint). I am not done entirely yet with the background and distributing skills but sooner or later I will look for a gaming group with this one.

Re: Shards of Siberys

So far we have Reth (human fighter) and The half orc girl (half orc rogue\barbarian\holy liberator) on the other ...hope i will be getting some more.. also the date I will announce who i will use has been pushed back mainly because i haven't had any entrys in a long time..so basically i will give the good people about a month to post their characters :D also .. No stats\numbers\feats. .. i only need a background and\or personality ..

hope to have a new strip by tonight :D also i won't be following the older comic's lead with the strips.. i will start using new jokes. :D the old strips will come into play soon :D
